Margaritas Mexican Restaurant

This restaurant says items are gluten free and that they will provide clean, freshly made tortilla chips and clean salsa. For a while they did. Recently I started getting positive tests on my Nima sensor. Then the chicken, stated to be GF, “might have been marinated in beer.” The last time I ate there in early May, I only had chips and salsa but something somewhere that I didn’t capture in my Sensor test must have had gluten. I was violently ill, vomiting for 12+ hours, serious GI pain for 3+ days. No more tries here.They don’t care in the kitchen.

Celiac friendly?

No

You can ask for GF chips that are made in a dedicated fryer. The staff alerted the kitchen of my “allergy” and were all very knowledgeable. Delish enchiladas and rice!!

The long anticipated opening was nothing short of a huge disappointment. Shame on them for not adding a dedicated gluten free fryer. If we ever stop again, it will be Augusta where they care enough to cater to food allergies. Any new establishment not considering this is alienating full families. Will not be at this location again, ever.

My server had little experience with gluten free issues. It wasn’t until I was deep into the menu that I saw the chips were not gluten free. Definitely very different in quality. The original chips were light and white the corn chips were darker and yellower. The rest of my meal was pretty tasteless.
